The goal of the project is to nurture a loving connection between people and the wondrous beauty of Bruny, to inspire a community of stewards deeply committed to the island’s long-term protection.
Bruny Island is a globally significant haven for birdlife, home to some of the world’s rarest birds – including the Forty-Spotted Pardalote, the Swift Parrot and the majestic Wedge-Tailed Eagle.
Bruny hosts wonderfully intact and diverse landscapes, including grasslands, grand forests, sub-alpine rainforests, coastal shrubs, rich and magical marine habitats and long wild stretches of coastline.
Bruny island’s varied coastline, rocky reefs and sandy gulches provide home and habitat to marine life as diverse as leatherjacket and flathead fishes, to Crayfish, Little Penguins and migratory whales.
The island’s human history extends back 40,000 years, with layers of continuous human connection with, love for and relationship to this land.
The Bruny Island online field guide is being coordinated by the Bruny Island Environment Network, Inala Nature Tours/Inala Foundation, and nature platform, Kuno.
